Compact Seating Solution for Existing Structures
In the heart of a bustling square, along the winding edges of a city park, or perched on a tranquil retaining wall — the Upper Chair Clo 60 naturally adds seating comfort to existing concrete structures. This compact chair with a closed backrest is designed for locations where space is limited, but the need for rest and pause is significant. The Chair Clo 60 not only provides a place to sit but also creates a sense of shelter in the public space.
Robust Construction in Galvanized Steel and Tropical Hardwood
The frame consists of a solid galvanized steel (S275JR) base, designed for long-term outdoor use. This corrosion-resistant steel is ideal for high-traffic public zones. The seat and backrest are made from durable Kambala wood, a tropical hardwood known for its stability and natural weather resistance. The wooden slats are finished with a UV-protective glaze that preserves the material's warm appearance over time.
Stylish and Ergonomic in a Compact Form
The closed backrest of the Chair Clo 60 provides additional support and privacy without appearing heavy or bulky. The slatted structure ensures ventilation and visual elegance, while the compact dimensions (560 mm deep, 440 mm high, 435 mm backrest height) make this chair ideal for tight spaces such as narrow walkways, bus stops, or elevated planters. The limited spacing between the wooden slats also helps prevent waste accumulation underneath the seat, making the chair low-maintenance and discouraging its misuse as a litter spot.
Smart Repurposing of Urban Infrastructure
The strength of the Upper Chair Clo 60 lies in its modular setup: instead of building new structures, this chair makes use of what already exists. By mounting onto existing walls or concrete blocks, a comfortable seating area is created with minimal resources. The Upper range also includes models with semi-open backrests or full-length benches for multiple users. Custom sizing is available, making it easy to adapt these elements to various public settings.
